"There's not much power without having a voice." Americans in a Freedom Forum video reminded us that the First Amendment lets us express ourselves, stand up for what's right, and protest when government strays. Democracy works when we speak up. Protect your rights and vote!

Turns out corrupt Trump/GOP’s authoritarian fascism is extremely costly to Americans! Trump/GOP are rife with grift, self-dealing, handouts to billionaires paid for by cutting your healthcare, inflation, wars of choice punishing Americans with high prices, violence on the street, harassing everyone!

ICE thugs are sending immigrants to countries that they have never been to, because there are orders by judges protecting them from being returned to their home country due to persecution. But these third party countries are sending them back to their home country, anyway. #ICELawlessness

Over half of all mail ballots spoiled in North Carolina’s largest county are due to new strict rules passed by the GOP-controlled state board of elections. The county is also a Democratic stronghold that could sway election results in the battleground state.

North Carolina voters can check their ballot status using the state’s BallotTrax portal to see if a ballot has been rejected and follow up to ensure their vote is counted 👇

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ 🧵 This is Pvt. Garland W. Beach. You won't find him in a history book. He was one of 115,000 troops who took part in Project Longhorn—a Cold War training exercise that turned deadly. Pull up a seat 🪑, my friends.(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

In April 1952, the U.S. Army launched Operation Longhorn, one of the largest peacetime maneuvers in American history. U.S. troops flooded into central Texas to simulate a Soviet-style invasion and liberation campaign. (cont) 3quarterstoday.com/2015/07/14/m...

The “red enemy” was the U.S. Army’s fictional Aggressor Force, played by the 82nd Airborne Division. They “captured” towns, imposed curfews, seized radio stations, and ran a full occupation government. The "blue" opposition forces included the 31st Infantry Division, (cont)

the 47th Infantry Regiment, and the 1st Armored Division. These units formed the core of the liberation force pushing into Aggressor‑held territory. The exercise wasn’t just local. Installations across the country fed troops and logistics into the fight. (cont)

For 18 days, Central Texas was at war. Across the entire exercise, the Army recorded 10 fatalities — all non‑combat. These deaths came from aircraft crashes, Parachute‑related injuries, and ground maneuver accidents. (cont) www.kwtx.com/content/news...

The dust of the Texas scrubland settled differently on the night of April 7, 1952. For Pvt. Garland W. Beach, a 22-year-old with his whole life waiting in the wings, the darkness of Operation Longhorn wasn’t just a tactical exercise—it was the final hurdle before a (cont)

deployment to the front lines of Korea. Under a moonless sky, Beach piloted his Jeep through the rugged terrain near Operation Longhorn's training grounds. Following strict orders for night maneuvers, the headlights remained dark. It was a game of shadows and grit. (cont)

His Captain sat in the passenger seat, watching the horizon. In a split second, the invisible became lethal. The Jeep struck a hidden rock, the frame buckled, and the vehicle overturned. The Captain walked away unscathed; Garland did not. Despite the frantic efforts (cont)

of medics, the injuries—a ruptured spleen followed by a sudden, cruel pulmonary embolism—claimed his life before he could ever see the mountains of Korea or the face of his unborn child. The aftermath was a heavy, quiet ordeal. In a decision that remains a painful footnote (cont)

in the family’s history, the Captain did not immediately notify Garland’s young wife. Instead, the word traveled first to her parents in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Knowing their daughter was four months pregnant and alone, the parents drove the long, somber miles to Camp (cont)

Rucker, Alabama—where Pvt. Beach was stationed. They arrived not with a letter or a telegram, but with their presence. It was only after they reached her side, ready to bring her back to the safety of Virginia, that they shared the news that shattered her world. (cont)
